The document discusses India's coal industry. It states that India is the 3rd largest coal producer globally and has the 5th largest coal reserves. The Ministry of Coal oversees exploration, development and sale of coal resources. Over 90% of coal production comes from government-controlled companies like Coal India Limited. Coal is a major source of energy in India, powering 71% of electricity generation. However, issues like poor coal quality, infrastructure bottlenecks and labor problems increase production costs for India's coal industry. The document provides production statistics for key coal producers like Coal India Limited and Singareni Collieries Company Limited.

2.  India is 3rd largest coal producing country after China and USA.
 India has 5th largest coal reserves in the world.
 Exploration, development, and sale of coal and lignite resources in India are
completely under the oversight of the Indian Government, through the
Ministry of Coal.
 The Ministry is in administrative control of major coal-producing companies
including Coal India Limited (CIL), Singareni Colliery Company Limited
(SCCL) and Neyveli Lignite Corporation (NLC).
 More than 90% of coal and lignite produced in India is from the CIL, SCCL,
and NLC mines, as only a small amount of captive coal mining is allowed for
private steel, power and cement companies.
 The size of Indian coal industry was estimated to be INR 800 billion by the
end of fiscal year 2012.

3. The proven coal resources in India were recorded at around 114
billion tons as on April 1, 2011.

6. India’s total coal production grew at a CAGR of 5.5% between FY00
and FY09. The deployment of advanced mining technologies has
facilitated this accelerated growth, which is in response to rapid
increase in domestic demand.

7. India is the third-largest consumer of coal, and accounted for
around 9% of global coal consumption in 2009. The country’s
coal consumption increased at a CAGR of 5% between 1999 and
2009 and registered a high growth of 10.5% y-o-y in 2004.

8.  Inferior quality, characterized by high ash content.
 Land acquisition, forest and environmental clearances and issues
of law and order related to Naxals.
 Infrastructure - lack of proper road connectivity , railway wagons,
24/7 availability of power, port facilities, have put brakes on the
growth of this industry.
 Labour problem. As per data available, labour constitutes 40% of
the total cost of production and thus production costs in India are
35% higher as compared to countries like Australia, Indonesia and
South Africa. Our output per man-shift stands at a meagre 3.8
tonnes vis-a-vis 65 tonnes in Australia.
